Brown Ideye Loan Deal - From China Tianjin to Spanish La Liga Club Malaga

Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye bid fellow Nigerian Mikel Obi and other Tianjin Teda team mates farewell on Thursday as he got set for a six-month loan deal with LaLiga club Malaga.

sports.sina.com.cn reported that Ideye was not listed as Teda lost 2-1 to Kickers Offenbach in the club’s winter training match in Marbella, Spain, as the club continued their build-up towards the new Chinese Super League season.

The Chinese outlet had revealed that Malaga was in serious negotiations with Tianjin Teda regarding a loan deal for the Nigerian before this January transfer window closes.

Malaga and Tianjin Teda finally agreed a loan deal for Ideye on loan to end speculations surrounding the player’s future at the Chinese side.

He endured a torrid time at Teda since joining the Chinese Super League club from Olympiacos.

Tianjin Teda paid Olympiakos €12m euros to land Ideye in 2016 but he has struggled to get into the first team competition since last summer.

Malaga currently have 11 points in the 2017/2018 La iga table and are in last place .
